I have a craftsman riding lawnmower and when i went to start it?
it only will run when the clutch is pressed in, you can change gears but when I take my foot off the clutch (which is also the brake) it dies. What could be the problem? Is there an easy fix for it?
I assume the blade is disengaged, but when you touch the handle to check it will shut off.

Seat Switch is bad. disconnect and jump it with a wire and it will run. then just order one on line. should be under $15
